Description of an event: Freshmen's Reception

Last Thursday I went to the freshmen's reception. It took place at the university where all the second year students were were waiting for the first year students.

The event kicked off with the monologue of our classmate Javier Cáceres, who made everyone laugh with some funny facts about what it is like to be a teacher of English. The event continued with the conversation of students of different generations who shared their lived experiences through the years.

The most important part of the event was the meeting between the first year students with their "godmothers/godfathers". It was a beautiful moment, specially for the freshmen because it was a surprise for them. They seemed very happy to know that there is going to be an older student able to help them and answer their questions about the career.

The freshmen's reception should be done for many more years. It makes the relationship between students stronger and it takes a lot of team work to prepare a great reception, so hopefully it will become a tradition.

Argumentative Essay

When we think about discoveries related to science, the first names that come to our minds are Einstein, Darwin, Newton… mainly male names, but science is not a discipline just for men.

Throughout time, science has always been associated to men because historically in past times women were supposed to stay at home and to take care of children. Studying and discovering were not a female activity and that is closely related to the fact that it is hard to think of a female scientist.

However, there are –although a few- female involved in historical scientific contributions for example Marie Curie, Jane Goodall and Jocelyn Bell. There may be many others, but maybe they have not got the credit they deserve or maybe they are not famous enough to be named immediately after asking someone about scientific discoveries.

Not all the discoveries have been done by men and science is not a discipline that only men can participate of. The amount of women studying at universities is increasing so maybe in the future, this topic will be no longer a matter of discussion.
